Green Tip of the Month

Save the Landfills

In this month's Green Scene ("A Higher Purpose"), we talk about a multitude of ways in which you can recycle and reuse all of those product containers you go through any given day. One suggestion came from SpaRitual, which for a time was packaging its new Handprint Hydrating Hand Salve in salvaged yarn containers—which are just cylinders of colorful, thick card stock with plastic caps on both ends.

Accompanying new tubes of Handprint were instructions on how to transform the yarn container and give it yet another life—as a bud vase. All you had to do was take the product out of the yarn container and remove the plastic from both ends. Then, fill a plastic water bottle—yet another item that's easily recycled—with water and insert it into the tube. Add fresh flowers, and voilá!

What products do you use—both in the spa and at home—that could find a second life in ways similar to this? Send us your ideas at arost@creativeage.com!

Spa Moves

 

The Keystone Lodge & Spa (keystonelodge.rockresorts.com) in Colorado recently opened the eco-friendly RockResort Spa, which operates on both wind power and natural light. Strategically placed windows throughout the 10,000-square-foot facility invite sweeping mountain views for lucky guests. Features include 10 treatment rooms, an outdoor pool, an infinity-edge chromotherapy tub and a Vichy shower room. “Guests visit our world-class resort for the beauty and majesty of the Colorado Rockie Mountains, so we have a special obligation and opportunity to protect the environment and give them a way to connect with it,” says spa director Michael Simmons. The commitment to renewable energy resources extends to every facet of the spa’s operations, including the use of green cleaning products, cups, trash bags and spa uniforms. The spa menu was inspired by Aboriginal healing techniques. One signature treatment, Yanko, is a full-body exfoliation rhythmically applied using native aromatic oils and desert salts (50 min/$125).
 
Daireds Salon and Spa Pangea (daireds.com) in Arlington, TX, has completed the expansion of its 3,000-square-foot Med Spa, which includes eight unique, globally themed treatment rooms, two consultation rooms and a waiting area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Additions to the menu include laser hair reduction for dark skin tones and an Acne Clear Treatment to remove pore blockages using laser and vacuum therapies. The spa already offers cosmetic treatments including Botox, cellulite reduction treatments and other laser therapies. “We want to be a full-service resource that our guests can trust for results-oriented solutions,” says owner Daired Ogle. "We actively review every new product and treatment to select only the ones that ensure our guests receive the results anticipated."

 

To commemorate the grand opening of Spa Botanica at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa in Glendale, AZ, guests who participated in a December food drive to benefit a local charity received a 15% discount on any treatment priced at $55 or more. The spa’s elegantly themed décor includes shades of blues and golds, bamboo flooring and glass fixtures. Spa coordinators create individual treatments that incorporate Pevonia Botanica products. “Our mission is to provide a personalized touch to each guest’s visit while exceeding expectations with each unique service,” says spa director Justus Miller.
